IMO This Eufy is not a great buy. Their system is locked down and I hate their app, and they've been proven to be hacked before and have ZERO regard for security- not great for your home's lock. At some point last year, all Eufy cameras were openly visible to anyone.

Especially when the Aqara U100 lock is available for $130 right now, and supports Matter, Zigbee, and is more waterproof: Deal of the day: Aqara Smart Lock U100, Fingerprint Keyless Entry Door Lock with Apple Home Key, Touchscreen Keypad, Bluetooth Electronic Deadbolt, IP65 Weatherproof, Supports Apple HomeKit, Alexa, Google, IFTTT, Gray https://a.co/d/9eiZh8m

I have a Eufy on my front door. No camera. Been okay but I'm curious if you can provide more details about these concerns, link?

For it to work with google and Alexa you also need to buy a 40 hub so the total cost is closer to $170.

What do we think about this in regards to Aqara?

I used eufy just fine, I mean it's not a revolutionary product like 1st gen iPhone but their customer service is so far the BEST team I've encountered with.

Shame on you Aqara for paying obviously a bot targeting all your competitors

Saw in another thread TikTok shop has it on sale for $79.99 new users. Was able to get one this way. They have other things as well for additional 25%-30% off. Might be worth it to check.

So, I bought this and installed it a month ago. I tried three other locks: Wyze, Kwikset and a no-name brand I can't remember the name. All of them had problems of some kind and I just went back to using a manual deadbolt. A neighbor was using this Eufy lock and as I already had a few Eufy products I liked (cameras, security, scale) I decided to give it a try.

It was very easy to install and I am generally not good at these things. I set it up with the number codes and fingerprint, but not Google. I have to say sometimes the fingerprint access fails once or twice, but after a few tries it works. The code has always worked.

I guess at some point I will see about getting it to work with Google, but I am satisfied with the methods of access I have now. One feature missing that I liked on the Kwikset that this doesn't have is the Smart Key feature.

All in all I am very happy with this lock.

I got a coupon on Tiktok as well but the payment is always failing. Tried credit cards, paypal and apple pay so far. 😡

Nice build quality.
My Locks battery failed soon/suddenly.
Uses 8x AA and has a power hungry Wifi Module.

It says it has built in wifi and no hub required? What hub is required?
